Nottingham Malaysia’s MA in Media, Communications, and Culture offers the theoretical and analytical training needed for further academic study or to develop professional skills for management roles in media, communications policy, and industry.

The program will enhance your specialized knowledge of key research methods through empirical examples and case studies. It will deepen your understanding and critical awareness of the dynamics of media transformation and the challenges it poses in politics, business, public administration, and daily life. Modules encourage students to re-evaluate the conditions of knowledge and the foundations of European modernity from postcolonial and decolonial perspectives.

Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and drawing on current research, the program also aims to equip you with practical skills to engage with relevant developments and discourses in the field. For instance, theories of posthumanism help students grasp how scholars in the humanities and social sciences address contemporary global issues arising from the Anthropocene, such as climate change and ecological damage, while raising questions about humanity's relationship with technology and other living organisms.
